The New Development Bank (NDB) has stepped up its efforts to attract and engage top talent through a series of human resources workshops and high-level meetings in India, the bank said in a recent update. The mission, led by Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Qiangwu Zhou, focused on building stronger connections with Indian institutions and professionals while highlighting new career and development opportunities across the bank.
The workshops took place in New Delhi and Bengaluru on 10 and 13 November, drawing participants from government ministries, universities, and the private sector. Organized with the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) in the Ministry of Finance and supported by NDB’s Indian Regional Office, the sessions featured presentations, panel discussions, and open exchanges on NDB’s goals, work culture, and talent development pathways.
“This workshop is part of our long-term effort to establish NDB as a leading employer in global development,” Zhou said during his address. “India has incredible talent, and we want to connect with professionals and young people who share our mission of driving sustainable and inclusive growth.”
From the Ministry of Finance, Anu P. Mathai, Additional Secretary at the DEA, praised NDB’s partnership with India. She said the collaboration will help share knowledge, build stronger institutions, and develop scalable solutions for emerging economies. Participants described the events as lively and informative, noting that they offered a fresh look at what it means to contribute to the bank’s work.
Zhou also met with senior finance officials, including Anuradha Thakur, Secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs and India’s Alternate Governor for NDB, to discuss future cooperation. He later visited NDB’s Indian Regional Office in GIFT City, Gujarat, for meetings with staff and leadership teams.
As NDB marks its 10th anniversary, these activities show the bank’s commitment to expanding its presence, strengthening partnerships with member countries, and investing in people who will shape the future of sustainable development.
